Yara-ma-yha-who Magical Creatures
In aboriginal cultures, there was a vampire-like being, described as a little red Man, approximately four Feet tall, with a very large Head and mouth. It has no Teeth and swallowed its food whole. Its most distinguishing features were it hands and Feet. It tips of the fingers and toes were shaped like the suckers of an octopus.

The Yara-ma-yha-who lived in the tops of fig Trees and did not Hunt for food, but waited until unsuspecting victims sought Shelter under the tree. It then jumped down and placed its hands and Feet on the body. It would drain the Blood from the victim to the point the person was left weak and helpless, but rarely, to cause the victim to die. The creature would later return and consume its meal. It then drank Water and took a nap. When it woke, the undigested portion of its meal would be regurgitated. According to the story, the person regurgitated was still alive, and Children were advised to offer no resistance should it be their misfortune to meet a Yara-ma-yha-who. Their chances of survival were better if they let the creature swallow them.

People might be captured on several occasions. Each time, they would grow a little shorter until they were the same size as the Yara-ma-yha-who. Their skin would first become smooth and then they would begin to grow Hair all of their body. Gradually they were changed into one of the mythical little furry creatures of the Forest.

The story of the Yara-ma-yha-who was told to Young Children who might wander from the tribe, and to naughty Children to scare them that it might come and take them away.

Yeti Magical Creatures
The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas. In 1951, an expedition found a track on the Menlung Glacier between Tibet and Nepal, at an altitude of 6000 meters. The footprints they Saw were 33 cm by 45 cm and were made by a foot which has 5 toes of which the inner toes were larger than the others. The heel was flat and exceptionally broad. The track itself appeared to be fresh so the footprints were not enlarged by melting Snow. This was clearly shown by the many photographs they took. Although there were many doubts about these photographs, if they were believed to be true at all. But those who did belief were certain that was not made by any known animal.

Origin
The People of Nepal call it a "rakshasa" which is Sanskrit for "demon". According to them, stories of its existence date Back to the 4th century BCE; references to the Yeti are found in a poem Called 'Rama and Sita'. It has regularly been sighted since 1832. Yeti means "magical creature". The name 'The Abominable Snowman' however, was given to it by western newspapers who wanted to give their readers the feeling of terror which the creature supposedly causes in the valleys, crevices and glaciers of the Himalayas.

According to legends, there are three species: the Rimi (some 2,5 m), the Nyalmot (4,5 m) and the Raksi-Bombo (1,5 m). In spite of differences in size, the species have a general resemblance. The Yeti has reddish Hair (although others claim it is gray), smells terrible and it is very strong (it throws boulders as if they were Pebbles). It makes an ululating or whistling sound, and is sometimes heard roaring like a Lion. The Yeti is rumored to be very fond of strong alcoholic drinks.

There are many uncertainties about its origin, whether it exists or not. Some say that the Yeti is a descendant of a Race of Giant apes, the 'gigantophitecus' who retreated into the Himalayas some 500.000 years ago. Another theory is that the Yetis are descendant of the A-o-re, an ancient People that fled into the mountains to Escape their enemies. In the following millennia, they degraded to a Race of monstrous creatures. Skeptics say that the tracks were made by ordinary animals like a Bear or an Ape.

Expeditions
Of the many expeditions Set out to find it, was also that of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first ever to climb the Mount Everest. He funded this expedition himself, for he and his guide Tenzing Norgay had seen footprints of a Yeti on a previous expedition. Unfortunately, his expedition was as unsuccessful as those who had gone before. However, he brought Back with him a borrowed artifact: the upper half of the skull of a Yeti. This scalp came from the Khumjung Gompa (monastery) in Nepal where it is kept as a relic. It is some 300 years old, 20 cm high and has a circumference of 65 cm. Scientists said it belonged to a serow (Mountain Goat) which lives in eastern Asia.

There have been many other expeditions, but on none of those they got so much as even a glimpse of the creature. However, just like the 1951 expedition, they found tracks of the Yeti, and made casts of its footprints. The lack of evidence did not keep the government of Nepal from officially declaring the Yeti to exist in 1961. It became their national symbol, and an important source of Income. There are even stamps of the creature.
